Looks like everyone’s jumping on the overpriced special edition bandwagon these days. With Modern Warfare 2’s Prestige Edition pre-sells doing so well, my guess is Sony thought it would be a great decision to create their own more expensive than the average collector’s edition package for God of War III. To be honest, it seems like a very good decision on their part. There’s so my hype around the God of War series that putting out the Ultimate Edition will surely be a hit.

But are you getting your money’s worth? The Ultimate Edition has a price set at $99.99. It boasts a 8.3″ wide x 10.5″ long x 5.9″ tall “High-End Sculpted Replica of Pandora’s Box.” The rest of the contents are under the cut:

• God of War Combat Arena containing an exclusive environment and seven challenges
• Premium Kratos Skin – Dominus
• God of War: Unearthing the Legend Franchise Documentary – a full-length movie documentary depicting the history of the God of War franchise
• God of War Trilogy Soundtrack – God of War, II, and III scores from the game (mp3 digital download).
• God of War: Blood and Metal EP – a heavy metal homage featuring original music inspired by God of War (mp3download).

Doesn’t seem like much for $100 to me, but I’m sure the die hard God of War fans can’t wait to put Pandora’s Box on a mantle or bookshelf at home.
